Red

Red

"There's something about a red door that says, 'Come in. Good things are inside.' It's very joyful and welcoming, and gutsy at the same time. You're drawn to this red. You can't resist. I'd describe it as scarlet with a hint of terra-cotta. It would make a great toenail polish." —Raun Thorp

Bright Green

Bright Green

"This is the color of a fresh-cut lawn, frozen peas, or Kermit the Frog. It's bright, not acidy, and would give a lift to clapboard siding or brick. I see an antique boot-scraper, like one of those long cast-iron dachshunds, in front of it. And don't bother with any of those potted plants that inevitably wilt. This green is all the life you need." —Harry Heissmann
